I watched this movie for the first time during my early teenage stoner years and it actually had me sat there contemplating if I would ever experience a party this incredible….. it’s 6 years later and no one’s having party’s anymore

Same lol 30 now and havent been to any parties that were like that. Closest i got was when we wrecked the basement of an ex homies parents house 💀

[@lofer9138]

honestly i don’t even think it’s possible, understandably no one’s willing to risk it😭

[@blackogjesus]

Damn that's disappointing I really wanna party somewhat like this. The only one I went to a female friend found on Facebook at some dudes Apt. We was there for like 20 minutes, a fight broke out and cops came then me and her walked 7 miles till we bumped into a McDonald's with Internet so she could call someone to pick us up. I was so mad cause I got no action and spent hours walking on a humid night with her. I never saw her again nor been to a party after that. I would've smashed her if I was the fuhk boy I am now. I liked her when I was in the 10th and she was 11th grade but rumors were she was blowing 2-4 guys in construction class so those feelings faded fast. ( I was a naive simp back then, the first day I met her she was in a tiny red dress with her booty popping out plus intentionally bending over in a class full of guys and she was like 1 outta 6 girls in the class lol) Then she suddenly liked me when I was in 11th grade and she was in 12th grade and was chasing after me pretty hard. I feel bad for the idiot who married her and put kids in her Btw sry the story is all over the place I just realized but pretty much the order is bottom to top.

[@rekeembelac1684]

At this time if an address got leaked that might’ve been having a party it didn’t matter who or where, there’s going to be a clusterfuck of people from all walks pulling up. The more alcohol and resources the bigger the party always. This was attempted many times and never truly met ProjectX expectations but it inspired and I’m sure a couple people got pretty close. Being 16 and a degenerate to the max when this came out is peak nostalgia.

Love the video! Project X is also one of my favorite movies and I would definitely consider it the best party movie ever. It was great hearing someone feel the same. And I agree with you, simplicity is a lost art in the current media landscape. So many want deep and complex, and while there is nothing wrong with exploring that, at the end of the day the deepest whole leads right back to the surface.

The music was so upbeat and good. Disney and Nickelodeon were still fire. Movies were lit. That era was just special.

[@badillofernandezjuliana1261]

Project X is a great film, I say this because of the great work behind the production , the scenes, all the scenes in which they use fire in a controlled manner, pretending the "light grenades", that was also a detail that impressed me a lot in the professionalism/creativity of the scenes, the helicopters that began to drop water on of the house since it had started to catch fire, but the influence that the film had on people made me consider it very absurd, It really surprises me how people think they could live a party like that/live to tell the tale after living it, the format they used for the scenes was everything, and I wonder, ¿a party like that could be done in real life in a way responsible/clearly intelligent?, the people who tried to organize their own project... ,they are not very smart people, they put people's lives at risk according to the news and I don't even want to imagine the financial debt that this also caused them, no matter who it was. Yes, a project X can be carried out, but many things would have to be taken into account to avoid ending up looking like a person without two fingers in front It could be an event, but not in a neighborhood house 💀

Do i still loathe the fact that i was pretty much dax without the invite to the party, yes but i also get the comfort in the idea that i can be JP, just get to experience the fun without having to take much of the flak at the end of the day if i play my cards right. Project x is an experience alone and im glad its around to show others what can happen in all the idiocracy drugs and booze but leave them up to when they feel its too much for them, they could be a straggler at the party stepping out when it starts getting larger than their HS population, or when it hits their town over craigslist, maybe you never left the party til the drugaddict with the flamethrower popped up.
